The Rule of Conjugal Partnership.

Among the poor, particularly the thrifty
and industrious poor. the woman of the
household. be she wife or daughter, has much
more control IN dispensing the daily or
weekly wage than women on higher social
plane; men of Drawn, when sensible and
kindly, practice more generous rule of con-
jugal partnership than is usual amongst men
of brain, though these iatter's earnings are
ON such scale of plenty that unless we look
below the surface regulations and equipments
of the home we fail to discover the false
financial relations that exist between husband
and wife. For wives, as a class, have no
spending money, and are rarely cognizant of
their husbands true business condition. Is
this just to the being man has promised to
honor as well as TO love?
Women are accused Of being mean and

Mrs. Langtry's Couture.

1t is feared that there will be another
madly universal copying of Mrs. Langtry's
couture. How we suffered before with the
"Langtry knot" exposing, by its simplicity,
heads whose chronological developments only
a Fowler could enjoy! But this style is even
worse Don't women know that shapely
head is almost the rarest of beauties? There
should be a poll tax levied upon those who
thus offend the public eye.
As to the color of her hair, much of that

stance Woolson terms ''the national shade of
brown" How? Why. by washing it fire.

: Women. especially those of the upper
classes, who are not obliged to keep them
selves in condition by work, lose after middle
age-sometimes earlier-a considerable
amount of their height, not by STOPPING, as
men do, but by actual collapse, sinking
down-mainly to be attributed to the perish
ing of the muscles that support the frame i'm
consequence of the habitual and constant
pressure of stays and dependence upon the
artificial support by them afforded. Every
girl who wears stays that press upon these
muscles and restrict the free development OF
the fbers that form them, relieving them
from their natural duties of supporting the
spine-indeed, incapacitating them from so
doing-may feel sure she is preparing herself
for a dumpy woman. Failure Of health
among women when the vigor of youth passes
away is but too patent and but too commonly
caused by this practice. Most women, from
long custom of wearing these stays, are really
unaware how much they are hampered and
restricted A girl of 20, intended by nature
to be one of her finest specimens, gravely as
sures one that her stays are not tight, being
exactly the same size as those she was first
put into, not perceiving her condemnation
In the fact that she has grown five inches ip
height and two in shoulder breadth. Her
stays are not too tight, because the constant
pressure has prevented the natural develop
ment of the heart and lung space.-Chicago
Tribune.

A Study of GYPSY Women.

Physically, the gypsy woman is not always
handsome. As maiden she is always at
tractive. With advancing age she may lose
her roundneSs, her color, her strange almost
winginess: but she never loses her glowing
eyes, nor is she ever feeble or hesitant in
movement to her dying day. Gypsy women
as 4 rule long outlive gypsy men; and though
I know a score of them past 50, l never saw
one of these beldames who had not a vigor
and elasticity far superior to those Of your
American women at 50 Scrawny as she may
become, she ever retains a seemingly ex-
haustleSS spirit. and a certain personal
charm which, while almost undesirable, may
perhaps be best suggested as that uncon-
fcious physical tribute to the splendid phys
ical correct,ress of her own life, with which
nature ever responds, and invariably logi-
callv bestows. What is true of one is truc
OF all IN this regard: and the same universal
lty of kind of unframed but ever certain
intuitive intellect also holds good All
